Flavored Ensaymada in Manila

7 Places to Order Your Flavored Ensaymada in Manila

by The Click List
A Filipino classic fluffy and buttery pastry is reinvented by our local bakeshops and homebakers with flavors to please the modern appetite always wanting to try something a little bit different.

Ensaymada (or ensaimada), a Christmas staple for Filipino households, was introduced to our palate during Spanish colonization, just like many of our favorite delicacies and dishes. This sweet brioche, with its trademark swirly bun and golden body, is commonly flecked with grated cheese and sugar, a combination of salty sweet in every soft bite of the pastry. Another popular way to consume ensaymada, aside from serving it freshly baked and paired with a hot drink like coffee or tsokolate, is to toast it and flatten it a bit, the bread warm and slightly burnt on the edges, with butter, sugar, and cheese melding and melting

Harina Artisan Bakery Café: A Fitting Name for a Place That Does Wonders with Flour

Hatch 22 Café & Bakery - Fresh Bread and Pastries Baked Daily

Hatch 22 Café & Bakery

by Trina T. Epilepsia

The name is familiar. If you were a conscientious student, then you probably read Joseph Heller’s novel “Catch-22”. Cooler kids probably saw Mike Nichol’s movie adaptation. What does this all have to do with breakfast and cocktails? Absolutely nothing. As the Hatch 22 poster says, the “where’s” and “when’s” of beginnings don’t matter, as much as the “how”. Heck, don’t even ask why. Just dig in.

 

L.E.S. Bagels - A Mini Cafe and A Bakery in the Fort

L.E.S. Bagels: The Best Place for Bagels in Manila

by Marian Joy Hernandez

The team who brought us the New York-inspired pizza parlor, Nolita, and the midnight munchies haven, Borough, has, once again, blessed us with a new food concept; something that’s surely been absent from the Manila food map: a bagel shop.

L.E.S. Bagels

Called L.E.S. Bagels, as in Lower East Side, the new bagelry is a cross between a mini café and a bakery. Located at Tuscany Residences, along Upper McKinley Road in The Fort, the place occupies a small two-floor area, where customers can dine in at the second level or al fresco. The ground floor is entirely for taking orders and gawking at the magnificent spread of bagels, tubs of cream cheese variants, and a spectacular array of cookies, donuts, muffins and other baked goods. It’s small; roughly 30 people can dine in comfortably, so ordering for takeaway might be best.
